The selected medallion may be personalized with a suitable photo, or you can use a sketch or painting in necessary quality.

To a large degree, the quality of the engraving in metal is influenced by the quality of the photo used. It is therefore necessary to abide by certain rules that will ensure satisfaction with the result.

Objects (people, animals etc) to be depicted on the medallion should not be placed closely to the edge of the photo.

Bright lights and less shadows help, however beware of shadows caused by the head-piece in the face.

The colour of the background should – if possible – differ from the colour of the main motif of the photo (i. e. from an object or face that will be displayed. In most cases, the background will be removed.)

The photo will be cut off and adjusted by our graphic artist to ensure the best fit with the material of the medallion.

A purely digital technology is used in Czech Mint to process and transfer photos to medallions. A computer controlled diamond tip imprints the picture in the form of a fine pattern of dots (it can be up to several tens of thousands) by applying a slight pressure, not a revolving motion. No precious metal is wasted during the engraving of the personalized medallion.

Your personal dedication can contain upto of text, with a maximum of characters in each line.

The final text is centered horizontally as well as vertically with respect to the relief of the medallion.

Once the order has been sent, the text cannot be changed or corrected. Czech Mint cannot be liable for potential mistakes in the text entered by you.

A special technology is used for personification of medallions in the Czech Mint. It involves use of a PC controlled diamond tip that imprints very fine letters or figures in the medallion applying a slight pressure, not a revolving motion. In other words, it can be described as a machine analogy of hand engraving.

It is a great advantage of this technology that the weight of the medallion remains the same – as opposed to milling or gravure. Personification does not reduce the volume of the precious metal.
